Osteoporosis is an asymptomatic and progressive disease that causes the bones to lose calcium and weaken, often without any pain. In fact, you may not know you have osteoporosis until your bones become so fragile that a strain, bump or fall causes a fracture.

Routine x-rays can detect breaks in bones, but are not sensitive enough to detect osteoporosis until 30% of bone mass has been lost, and the disease is well advanced.

Our Qualitative CT Bone Calcium Density Screen (QCT Bone Density) uses our CT technology to measure bone calcium with an accuracy rate of 75-80% and can detect osteoporosis when only 5% of bone mass has been lost. QCT is accepted throughout the industry as providing the highest diagnostic accuracy of any Bone Mass Density technique for detection of low spinal bone density.

The entire exam takes less than 5 minutes.
